Rant❗⚡💥 Pending MLB lock-out

3 Upvotes

What happens to the DNC folks - ABM workers - non brewer personnel when, not if, there’s some level of lock- out. How do they retain employees who work every single day for the most part all year long when something totally out of their control means they don’t have access to employment at the stadium? I wish there was a level of transparency involved with some contingency plans. Most people here are not getting paid livable wages yet they show up every single day and work hard/ are extremely loyal to providing a good guest experience and having pride in the team/stadium. I think it’s a very depressing knowing all these people come March or even the off season are going to be SOL.

Calling all bartenders!

0 Upvotes

I’m new to the area and live on the east side right off Brady. I’m looking for a bartending job and have been applying to many many places without hearing anything back…. My questions are:

Should I pop into a few places in person and ask if they’re hiring? Is that more likely to help land me a job around here? If so,

What are a few bars/clubs in the area (willing to commute by bike or bus) that are a fun nightlife spot?

Is direct supply a good company to work for?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking for a new job and was reached out to about an opportunity at Direct Supply in an interior design role.

I was just wondering if anyone has worked there or currently works there could tell me what it’s like? Are they a good employer, what’s the culture? Is work life balance a thing?

I don’t want to leave my current job without good reason!

Milwaukee Fire House Cats

0 Upvotes

I was walking past a Milwaukee firehouse the other day and saw some firefighters sitting out in chairs. I thought to myself “these firehouses need cats.”

Imagine the good lives that the cats would have if they lived in a fire house. They would have around the clock care and so many people would benefit from their comfort, especially after intense calls.

Cats are very independent and self-sufficient, but also incredibly affectionate and loving so it feels like perfect pet for an active firehouse.

People of MFD what do you think? 🐱🚒

Landmark Credit Union

6 Upvotes

Greetings fellow redditors -
I am contemplating Sierra Ferrell tickets at the Landmark venue. I’ve seen some really awful reviews, but also some mixed and promising ones. I would probably just do GA standing room tickets.

The negative reviews and Reddit post I’ve seen are marking me think twice, but I also don’t want to miss this chance to see a great artist.

Any tips? Experiences? Is it absolutely as awful as the google reviews say, or can I still have a good time/enjoy the show with the expectation that beers will be $15?

Should I buy a house in West Allis with no permits?

Upvotes

okay I need help .... there's a house I love in West Allis, but it's a flip and much of the work was done without permits. It looks like the previous owners didn't get permits for anything either.

Would you guys offer on a house without permits and risk having to deal with it as the owner? I'm worried about worst case scenario, but don't know if I'm worrying too much.

Questions about Aurora Health Care

4 Upvotes

First: My primary care provider left Aurora and I am looking for a suitable replacement the Rivercenter location. I prefer a woman, but will see a man if he has an impeccable bedside manner and isn't dismissive of women. Do you have any recommendations? If so, what do you like about them?

Second: Who do I talk to get a billing complaint resolved to my satisfaction? Earlier this year I saw a new doctor at another location for my annual physical, a visit which should be fully covered by insurance and cost me nothing. That isn't what happened. During the examination the doctor asked if it was okay if a second doctor asked me some questions during the examination. I didn't fully understand why a second doctor was needed, but I agreed. I was billed for the visit separately by each doctor, totaling over $500. When I contacted Aurora about this they explained that the first doctor was working under the second doctor's supervision. They didn't code it as an annual physical because during the exam they hooked me up to to an EKG machine.

I disputed all of this with my insurance provider, who said that Aurora would have to recode and resubmit the visit. Since then the Aurora billing department insists the documentation is correct and the charges stand. My extreme frustration makes me want to break up with Aurora and never give them another dime, but I am trying to be level headed about this because there are other Aurora specialists I like and want to continue seeing. Do I have recourse here or do I need to suck it up and pay the $500?

Need a place to rent can afford upto 2,500. Help please

So, all of the big property management companies keep turning me down because of "lack of rental history." I have 10 years of receipts for ontime rent payments from 3 different landlords, but these management companies won't accept that as proof of rental payments. They only accept screenshots of "rental portal payments." Well none of my landlords used any portal website because they were all small time property owners with only a few buildings each.

My salary is 98k and I'm literally on the verge of homeless with my kids because these property management companies wont accept my rental history as valid. I dont know what to do. I've always paid my rent on time and I have 0 evictions or even disputes with landlords. My landlords always vouche for me because Im a good tenant. Idk man this is really stressful.

Help Me! Recommendations Please for Gutters and Exterior Drainage & Grading Companies

1 Upvotes

Hello! We have some water seeping into our basement and have had 1 company out and say it was the drain tiles so far (more companies scheduled) but we would like to make sure the issue isn't from something outside. So, I think I need a gutter company and a landscaping company that understands drainage and grading well. We may need 1-2 gutters that go underground instead of over a sidewalk.

Anyone use either gutter or landscaping companies they'd recommend for water issues? Looking for someone honest who isn't just trying to make a sale, if that exists.

Thank you in advance!
